DeleteSIR HARRY JOHNSTON
ReplyDeleteOver 100 years ago people thought that an animal called an okapis didn’t exist. Someone extraordinary called HARRY Johnston found out that an okapis did actually exist. This animal has a slightly long neck and large ears and a black tongue. Sir Harry Johnston actually found a female. Males have hairy horns that reach up to 15 cm, and which are fused to the frontal bones-these are absent in females. Females are sometimes red in colour and usually slightly taller than males which are 1.5m high on average and 2.5 m long.
That is a very good discription of an okapis! :)

ReplyDeleteThis lady explored her local area from age 11.She found fossils of creatures that had never seen before .One was called an ichthyosaur, like an ancient dolphin. She found it in the blue liar cliff. We know diets of some ichthyosaurs from the stomach contents preserved in fossils. Since not every fossil comes with good stomach contents, our knowledge is limited to some fish-shaped ichthyosaurs.

ReplyDeleteSome famous Explorers are probably exploring the world right this minute, but unfortunately some are dead. Take Christopher Columbus, he was a very
famous explorer who has now, passed away.
Who Was Chistopher Columbus?
Christopher Columbos was born in
October, on the 31st, 1451, in the
Republic of Genoa, which is in
Italy. He died in May on the 20th in 1506. As a teenager on his first voyage, he
travelled into the Atlantic Ocean, it nearly cost him his life! His ship was burned and he had to swim to the Portuguese shore and then walk to Lisbon, which is luckily in Portugal! Eventually Columbus settled in and married a lady called Felipa
Perestrello. In around about 1480, the couple had a son named
Diego. He had a second son called
Fernando, who was born in 1488.
